If you're planning a Halloween party - whether for kids or adults - don't forget about beverages when choosing your menu.

If I asked you to name four movies that define your teenage years, what would be your response?

Movies from my era, a decade prior, ran t...

I remember a story my mom used to tell about her coworker, Opal, and Opal's two little boys. One night, Opal asked the boys what they wanted for supper. One of the boys, about 4 or 5 years old, scrunched up his face and said, "Let's have ... let's have ... let's have ... POP TORN!" That answer became a joke in my family for years because I never met anyone who liked popcorn more than my mom. Popcorn was often her choice for supper. But it wasn't just popcorn my mom liked - she liked the butter...
Katie Hawk Ewing Public Schools valedictorian Faculty members, fellow students, family and friends, welcome. To my fellow class members: I am proud to say that we have crossed the finish line.
